主持 Moderators:Polly Ho, Adam Cheung, Florence Ng, Wong Wai Yim
詩人來賓 Guest Poet and Writer:Olga Walló

A film-maker father. Mother an actress who didn’t want to act – her finest scene a real-life act: dressed to die defying a Nazi officer seeking the paper-less man concealed in the house.

The Narrator of Tightrope! ─ A Bohemian Tale, an extraordinary, curiously intellectual small girl, undertakes the demanding and costly burden of comprehending the world.

Olga Walló lived for many years in Prague, Czech Republic and now lives in the country-side nearby, She worked for Czech TV for 35 years as a translator and dubbing director and taught dubbing at the Academy of Art. She has translated plays (including 12 by William Shakespeare) and novels.
"I believe that all readers, whatever their different cultural experiences, will find in this novel something to identify with, and I hope that, through the personal accounts of the author, they will be able to trace the complex path which our nation travelled not so long ago."— Václav Havel

You are welcome to bring your work to read and share, in any languages.

The King & the Birds
--In memoriam Jacques Prévert

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Roi_et_l'oiseau


The king was so sick
The morning after.
Doves sang wake-up calls.
He took a shotgun
And shot all moving things.

In sound and fury,
He told his soldiers:
‘Get every mocking bird!’
His kingdom has become
A very big prison.

All birds went underground--
Even those which did not sing.
Now bad bugs are rampant
And cause famine & plagues.

Dear Moderators:

Re: Art vs Politics?

Jan Mukařovský did not see such contradiction.

See his Aesthetic function, norm and value as social facts.

For Formalism & Structuralism,
pls consult the poet-professor
Prof LEUNG Ping-kwan
(梁秉鈞/也斯 Chair Professor of Comparative Literature, Lingnan University;
Former Vice-President, International Comparative Literature Association).

For aesthetics,
pls consult Prof. MAN Kit Wah, Eva
文潔華教授.
Professor, Department of Religion & Philosophy.

Dear Moderators:

Re: Art as Artefact & Aesthetic Object: Jan Mukařovský, Roman Ingarden…

For the linguistic aspects of their theories,
pls consult those who teach the philosophy of language, sociolinguistics,…

For the Q “Where is Art?” pls consult those who teach phenomenology.

If u like music, pls consult Dr Giorgio BIANCOROSSO (HKU) for Where is Music?

Bona fide

Dear Polly, I have just returned (5 a.m. this morning) from a trip to the U.S. and Canada and found your very encouraging reply on your blog. I do not quite understand what you mean by "send them to our email address". My renditions are more or less openly published (for criticism and improvement) on my 2 blogs and the discussion that is going on, particularly on my blog on the H.K. Economic Journal, is most enthusiastic. Are you proposing I post them on your blog? Best wishes, Andrew Wong.
